tooth problems?

i went to dentist coz my gum was receding. he cleaned me up and sed not to worry.i have lost 10% of tooth or something like that and that as i dont smoke etc it will NOT fall out! Why does this tooth just feel insecure. it feels vunerable,not painful but wen i touch it it feels like it not held in nice and tite. am i paranoid?

Answers:
NO, you are not paranoid. It sounds like you have a tooth mobility (loose tooth) problem. It might be caused by:

1. Orthodontic Treatment - Do you have braces?

2. Periodontal disease - you'll need scaling and root planing.

3. accidents or trauma - tooth grinding is included here too.

4. Osteoporosis - probably not the case here.

I am not sure the cause from the information you provided but these teeth must be treated to prevent further problems. Splinting (bonding) might be a solution.

Aww. call your dentist office and just ask them over the phone if that's normal. Ask to speak with a hygenist or something, that way they won't haul you back in and make you pay again.
